Question

Most adults should consume no more than 30 percent of their daily calories from fat
A person on a daily diet of 2500 calories should get no more than ________ calories from fat each day

Answer 1

If we know that adults should consume no more than 30 % of their daily calories from fat, then we have to get the 30% of 2500 to find out how many calories of fat that is.

2500 • (30%)
2500 • 0.30
750 calories

Answer 2

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with 750 calories.

Explanation:

On the basis of the United States 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines, the intake of fats for a normal adult lies in the range of 20 to 35 percent of the daily intake of calories. The recommended intake of calories relies upon the size, age, sex, height, overall general health, and lifestyle of an individual. In the United States, the suggested daily calorie intake is around 2500 for men and 2000 for women.  

In the given question, if an individual is consuming 2500 calories daily, and should not consume more than 30 percent of the daily calories as fats. So, the total fat he can consume in the form of calories will be:  

2500 × 30/100 = 750 calories.
